Discover the Charm of Asciano: A Hidden Tuscan Gem

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the main road in Val di Chiana, such as the SR326 or the A1 motorway. Follow the signs towards Siena. Take the exit at 'Siena Nord' and merge onto the SS223. Continue on the SS223 for approximately 18 km until you reach the junction for Asciano. Turn left onto the SP14 and follow the signs to Asciano. Once you enter the town, continue straight until you reach Via Roma. Asciano is well-marked and easy to navigate. Ensure you have sufficient fuel, as gas stations may be limited once you're in the countryside.

• Public Transportation (Train and Bus)

  To reach Asciano using public transportation, first take a train from your current location in Val di Chiana to Siena. Trains run regularly from stations like Montepulciano or Chiusi. Once you arrive at the Siena train station, exit and look for the bus terminal located just outside the train station. Catch the bus to Asciano (line 131 or 132), which runs several times a day. The bus ride will take around 30 minutes. Make sure to check the latest bus schedule online or at the station, as times may vary. There may be a small fare for the bus, typically around €2-3.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-sharing service from any location in Val di Chiana directly to Asciano. This option is convenient but can be more expensive, with fares typically ranging from €40 to €70 depending on your starting point. Ensure you confirm the price upfront with the driver or app to avoid any surprises. This option is ideal if you're traveling with luggage or in a group, making it easier to reach your destination comfortably.
